Show HN: SAWO – A Passwordless Login API

Holaaa HN,

SAWO Labs is an Authentication as a Service solution, which aims to redefine User Authentication by enabling OTP-less and Password-less login. (https://sawolabs.com/)

Our product is born out of usual onboarding misfits ranging from forgotten passwords, to delayed/ never delivered OTPs, which not only increases the bounce rate but is also expensive, and unsecured.

SAWO provides device-based secure authentication solutions for apps and websites to deliver a seamless user experience for quick customer onboarding, by removing the need for login passwords and OTPs.

We would love to hear about your experience of authenticating users. We would also love to discuss how SAWO can secure your apps and website by going passwordless. You can either ping here or you can email us at [email protected]

We have just started our journey into the Passwordless ecosystem and are giving out 5000 free authentications. For more, we have curated plans in place(https://sawolabs.com/pricing). Our usual authentication cost comes to around 4 Paisa to 9 Paisa depending on your user base.

Also, if you want to know more about integrating with us, you can check out our documentation at https://docs.sawolabs.com/sawo/

Till then, Happy Authenticating

It's against HN's rules to have friends/fans/teammates upvote your submission or post booster comments. We ban accounts and sites that do this.

Very cool. Love the simplicity :)

I think this is a great solution!

Congrats with the launch. Pretty cool feature and a great onboarding experience for users!

I look forward to working on an integration to securely gate content.

Current solutions allow folks to easily access content by just disabling Javascript.
